Website Creation & Blogging

WordPress– #1 CMS (Content Management System) for website creation and Blog Publishing Platform. It's Free, easy to customize with rich features, and offers great support. The majority of our sites are built on WordPress.

GoDaddy– our #1 choice of a hosting provider that we have had only the best experience with over the years, so we highly recommend them! GoDaddy provides confidence of being the largest domain registrar in the world, highest quality service, lowest prices, phenomenal 24/7 customer service that goes above & beyond to help with any question – all this has been 100% our experience with them. They also have a super easy-to-use admin control system, including 1-click WordPress installation, flexible service plans and offer very low cost domain names.

(TIP: for shared hosting, we recommend most people to go with Linux operating system instead of Windows – same price but more flexible and suitable for most people's needs)

BlueHost – another awesome and reliable hosting provider that we have had great experience with. They certainly deserve to be listed as the #2 option after GoDaddy.

Content Creation

Spin Rewriter– online-based article spinning software that uses Natural Language technology – automatically instantly creates totally unique content as if it was written by a human. This way you never run out of fresh unique content for your internet marketing business. We have tried different systems and this one is literally light years ahead of any competition. They offer 5-day 100% FREE trial and very inexpensive afterwards.

Textalyser– FREE online text analysis tool that provides detailed statistics of any text you input or a website url you reference. It provides keyword density and a lot of other important information.

Keyword Research

Keyword Blaze Pro– phenomenal (in our opinion the best) keyword research software and keyword analysis tool that is really a desktop environment, which includes several highly intelligent and intuitive parts. It can even conduct keyword research on complete autopilot and shows you all information you need to beat competition and dominate your niche.

Brad Callen Niche Finder– another nice keyword research tool that makes efficient research a breeze. It's somewhat similar to Keyword Blaze Pro but with a few less features. You can see how the 2 of them compare in a detailed video review. Check out our full review of this keyword research tool.

Google Adwords Tool– this is Google's FREE keyword tool, designed to help you pick keywords for your Adwords campaign. You can use it to find out keyword popularity, Adwords competition level and monthly search volume for each keyword. This is often a good starting point in keyword research to generate some ideas and get you going.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

Magic Submitter– the #1 most powerful backlinks creation software on the market. It spins and submits practically any content you want like articles, blogs, press releases, videos, etc. to over 500 sites and gives you 1000's of backlinks automatically. You can manually enter additional sites too. The features of the software are virtually limitless. We also used its main competitor software SEnuke XCr (which is also good but more expensive) and noticed a higher success rate for backlinks created by Magic Submitter.

BacklinksIndexer– absolutely #1 service for getting your backlinks indexed by the search engines. Getting links indexed to be found by Google is just as important as creating them. We tried all major competing indexing services and BacklinksIndexer has significantly higher index success rate than all others hands down, while being less expensive than many others. This is a must have for any backlink building!

VPN (Virtual Private Network)– VPN provides an excellent service that securely encrypts your internet connection & protects your online identity. Not only is this great for general online security but it's especially useful when constantly running seo tools (Example: automatically building backlinks). Basically, with just 1 click of a button you become completely anonymous, including a totally different IP address. You can even choose which server your internet connection runs through in any of 61 countries and hide behind over 51,000 different IP addresses. As an example, the backlinks you build this way will appear as unique, being created by totally different people in different places.

E-Mail Subscriptions & Marketing

Aweber– simply the best email opt-in service out there. We use Aweber for the majority of our sites to build an email list and for e-mail marketing/ broadcasting.

Payment Acceptance / Processing

Paypal– one of the most popular systems for sending and receiving money in the world. It's completely FREE to open an account and you are charged only when you are receiving money (about 3% of the amount). You will need to have a Paypal account to receive payments from many affiliate programs and CPA networks, if you promote products & services as an affiliate for them.

Tracking & Analytics

Google Analytics – Google's FREE website statistics and performance tracking tool. Every single website should be utilizing this tool.

Clicky– great website analytics tool that is similar to Google Analytics yet much more powerful.
